They could have chosen Lucid Games which stole assets from mods...

 

But then we wouldn't have any problems with the characters, since they would probably just use the best char mods available.

Yeah that wouldn't end well, forget that

Amen to that

Honestly, if Tommy looked like this I wouldn't even be mad right now. But they clearly didn't care to put any real effort into proper character models for the main characters.

This is the thing. You could say Claude's new model is sort of based on the original game art for GTA3. CJ pretty much looks like his original model. Who is the Tommy model based on?

If you expect disappointment and sadness all the damn time then you'll have plenty of positive surprises though.  Anyway what I mean by "hype" is that kind of fanboyish, childish "oh it's going to look like GTA 5 I mean look at the system requirements" thing I was cringing at during the entirety of last week.

Maybe the old concept art for Tommy?

Maybe, just maybe we should wait for the games to release before blindly judging them based on what we know about GSG's involvement. Firstly, they made some decent ports, it was only SA that fell short... feels like people only think of SA when the GTA Trilogy is mentioned. Second, it's not only their studio working on these games, Dundee and the main studios are also working on it. I am pretty sure Rockstar's standards today are a lot higher than before, so I think it is best to let them decide who should work on the Trilogy DE.

I prefer the trailer version tbh. Has a hazy feel that is supposed to be conveyed by that interior.

that dumb lookin moron does not look like claude at all, they totally butchered his face and traits and expressions. plus they gave him some sort of light brown hairs when claude always had black/dark brown hairs. same as tommy. the character of tommy was based on the face of ray liotta, so remaster tommy could be very easy using the face of ray liotta, but we got shiny barbie now, plus no more black/dark brown hairs but light brown/red hairs. comical.

Guys there's a topic for memes

I've always tried to have the lowest expectations possible. The only hope I - or we had was that Rockstar Dundee would work on a remaster, because it was so obvious at that time and T2 would not have bought the company without reason. When the Trilogy site got updated and it said "Adapted by WDS" .. my lowest expection still got ruined by dissappointment and anger, well not anger like i'm actually mad and hate everything, like you all keep thinking, but it's just sad to know that you have a physical copy of GTA SA for XBOX 360 and the contents on that disc is filled with more bugs than features and it can totaly ruin your gameplay experience and you need to restart the console because it actually softlocks the entire system and the quality of the sound effects, cutscenes and radio, which is way worse than you would find on late 90's games and the cheap upscaled textures and the animation bug that causes all cutscene chars to look like someone filled with horror, well.. Then you have a valid reason to be mad about it. 

But in the end, it might not look that bad. The trailer looks good, except for the characters, but they still have time to fix that and when the game is finally released, then we can go through every single detail and see if they messed up again or managed to port something without any problems. These are the good expectations I have now.

Indeed Tommy is too much fat. Also, did you guys notice why making such huge shirt buttons?

Ah, didn't see that one, my bad - I've been mostly focused on this topic in particular and have not been checking every single page so I must've missed it (been skipping 20 pages at a time sometimes because yall are so active in here, hah)

Games are looking great. My only problem seems to be with how shiny the character models hair is, looks like plastic.

But let's be honest...sure, Claude have gel on his hair, it was supposed to be like that in 2001 also, but...why in this day and age they needed to make his hair so edgy? It looks like Goku!

[Cheesy Vaginas]

Say what you want about the characters (I dislike them too), but overall can we admit that this looks as good as a remaster possibly could? It's sad to see some of you lose hype just because some questionable character designs. Everything else looks flat out amazing. Can't freaking wait!

Ah Sh*t! Here we go again!

At the very least FaceApp managed to make them look a bit more cheerful, so there's that

This version of Sweet looks like he is not the one who is going to need the Lube from Toreno when he is in prison.

Think I’m going to pick this up for my new PC. 
 

i7 10700K

32GB RAM

S2721DGF 165HZ 1ms response monitor

 

I had a look at the minimum specs and the highest graphics card they recommend is a GTX 970.

 

Thinking about picking up a 2070 Super for this so I can play on maximum res with highest settings.

[Violet]

the theory in my head is that the trailer was made on the mobile version / using mobile settings - notice the buildings in the distance on this scene from gta 3

Spoiler

the LOD on them is super low, akin to what i'd expect from mobile. that blurriness wouldn't be happening on a desktop platform. it's wishful thinking, but, given that R* trailers always tend to look worse than the final product in some way, perhaps this is why the materials are so f*cked up on the characters? the meshes themselves are serviceable, but the materials are dull and lifeless leading to the Noooooodle Arm effect

That's normal in game dev and in any creative profession really, it's what free assets are for.

Sure, games are full of these things, I occasionally hear the door sound effects from the PS1 Resident Evil's...but even so it normally takes longer than 24h after the first trailer for people to start sourcing the original assets. The fact that it didn't would seem to indicate that GSG used the first thing they came across, which could be a sign of a lack of care and attention.

Made a few edits to our old boy Tommy. Honestly, he's not too far off - this didn't take much time to transform. I'd like to see modding cracked not long after release and tweak stuff like this for real.

 

I like how we made basically the same exact post with surprisingly similar edits lol. Great minds think alike

I REALLY hope the modding community can fix this crap ASAP. All they have to do is restore original textures/characters, add some proper filters and HOPEFULLY we can bring back the original vibe of those games.

Here's my attempt, 5min in Photoshop:
